There have been elections in Israel on Tuesday - the fourth election in the country in two years.
Many of the country's voters have seen the election as a referendum on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu's Likud party looks set to get more votes than expected, but it is doubtful whether the party will succeed in gaining its own majority in parliament.
The party appears to be forced to seek support from arch-rival Yamina to gain a majority, according to the results of several polling stations presented on Tuesday night.
Likud looks set to win 33 of 120 seats in parliament, Reuters reports.
It takes 61 seats to reach a total majority and form a government.
"Can be a fifth choice"
- It is unclear whether the first forecasts stand and whether Likud will be able to form a coalition government with this result, says SVT's Middle East correspondent Stina Blomgren in Aktuellt.
This was the fourth election in two years, is there anything to suggest that the political situation is becoming more stable now?
- There are no such guarantees.
On the contrary, this first election result makes it difficult to form a coalition government.
It may well be that Israel will be forced to go to a fifth election already this autumn, says Stina Blomgren.
